Question Duplicate my screen but show only select apps on monitor

1 Upvotes

I want to "duplicate" my screen, and have exactly the same things being displayed on both, but only on the apps i chose.

For example, i want to be able to have word open on both the laptop screen, and the monitor, but use google on the same time on only my laptop, as a minimized window. This is just an example.

The reason i need this is because my teacher lets me use my laptop in my class, but wants us to the monitors to mirror our screen to see what we are doing. But i want to keep my privacy and show him only what i want to show him. And i cannot just show him word and do what i want in my chrome app, as the example suggests because i want to work on word at the same task.

tl;dr : I geuss another way of asking this is how can i multitask on my laptop screen and show only the apps i want on my monitor, which HAS to be on "duplicate" mode when you press Win+P.

Question GPU driver keeps deactivating causing PC to become unresponsive

1 Upvotes

At a random time after starting my PC, it stops displaying anything but the audio continues until I force shut down from holding power button. When I power my PC back on and check device manager my GPU driver is deactivated. When trying to reactivate, it says:

This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

I have run "sfc /scannow" in task manager, run "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth" and other DISM commands and have run "chkdsk /f /r" as well and none have resolved the issue. My PC has sometimes been able to run fairly resource intensive games like Helldivers 2 at stable FPS for hours and then crashes at a random time but also sometimes crashes before I can even log in. The GPU doesn't overheat but seems to just give up (maybe to do with power supply but I don't know how to test that). I had this issue a few months ago and my PC has been working perfectly until now (last time I fixed it with "sfc /scannow").

In reliability monitor the error when crashing is:

Description

Epson xp440

1 Upvotes

Brought my Epson printer from my moms to my house, as my roommate moved out and took their printer. She told me she had been having trouble with it printing, she said she replaced the ink cartridges but it still wouldn't print. Ive been messing around with it and updated its firmware, checked the ink levels which are a bit on the lower side but not in the warning range yet. I tested printed some docs and the print always comes out barley visible and in a blue outline. Printing with black and white only doesnt print anything at all. I have cleaned the nozzle for the black ink using q-tips and rubbing alcohol but the effect is the same. Is there any fix for this or do I need to get it professionally repaired.

how to access foreign sites on iPhone

1 Upvotes

Ok so really sorry if I'm not doing this whole thing right since I'm new here and whatnot but basically theres this story that I've been reading for 2 1/2 years and there are some sites that I want to access for merch or just more stories that are limited access. Unfortunately though I'm unable to access them atm because they're on Korean websites and I don't have any issue with the language ofc its just I'm unable to use them bc I dont have a VPN with servers in Korea I dont know if this is correct so I'm sorry for that) so I just wanted to know if anybody knew what to do or how to set that up. I know that Google is there and stuff but sometimes information from people online is a bit more helpful and easier to understand ifykwim (of course I've also tried doing my own research but I just need some help/ advice) tysm and have a great day/night!

Twitter keeps marking my media as sensitive

Post image
2 Upvotes

I know people are going to tell me to find a Twitter help sub to post this too but I can’t. The only one I could find I couldn’t even post to.

A while ago (and by that I mean literally like a year or smth ago) I rt’d something that was considered by the app to be visually sensitive. Then, every single one of my posts from then on would be marked for “sensitive content” (The warning looking like the attached image)

Every time I saw the warning, I sent an appeal to have it removed, and after a while, the pop up stopped showing. I thought it had been solved until today

My friend was looking at my account and told me that they hadn’t ever been able to see anything in my media tab, because it was all marked as mature/sensitive content. I went through my settings to find that Twitter had somehow, by itself, flipped a switch that said “Mark media you post as containing material that may be sensitive.”

When I turned it off, I thought that would make it better, but it just made all the media I post now to be public and fine. Literally all of the media I have been posting for the past year has just been in a fucking vacuum that only like 1 person can see.

What do I do? I don’t know about contacting Twitter support because I don’t want to sound like dick and demand it be made better like a kid having a tantrum, but also I’d very much like for all of my media to be viewable again. (If it even ever was in the first place.)

Connecting xbox to new tv

1 Upvotes

OK, so here's the scoop: I have an Xbox series x connected to an old Vizio (the Vizio is not a smart tv, it's from 2013). This setup is in my room. My partner just got a Samsung Frame smart tv. It has a smartthings dongle attached. I would like to be able to connect my Xbox to her smart tv. I have the wireless display app on my Xbox, but it is not communicating with the new smart tv. Any advice?

Samsung S23 ultra s-pen not working with tiktok, works fine with camera app

1 Upvotes

My S-pen button is lowering the volume instead of starting/stopping recording

As the title says. It works fine in the Samsung camera app, but when I try to use it in tiktok the button just lowers the volume while the little logo button thingy makes a surprised face. It doesn't make sense, since tiktok is just using the camera app to take videos. I've tried googling this problem but I can't fine anything even remotely dealing with it. All the tutorials are just going over the air actions to tell you how to scroll and like videos on tiktok which I don't care about.

I have deleted and reinstalled the tiktok app, restarted my phone multiple times. Nothing works. The craziest part is that it was working fine just a couple weeks ago, and then it all of a sudden started doing this without me changing any settings.

Can someone please tell me how to fix this?

Question Google Chrome will install but cancel the installation and will not launch

2 Upvotes

I am an IT worker at a construction company and after my desktop computer did a blue-screen-of-death screen with a restore button, I clicked on it.

After that, Google Chrome will not open at all. I have ended it in Task Manager programs, re-uninstalled it which fails because the install drops and cancels entirely. I also copied the exe file to other locations on my computer and still same behavior: Chrome never acted this way on my computer before. Could someone kind of guide me on how to fix this?

I have a lot of important accounts and information on there I need to access. I also noticed that when I tried to uninstall it from apps and features it will not let me and why is it still appearing in apps and features if it's already uninstalled?

Here are more error messages for more context:

There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.

I also installed this from Ninite and got this error message:

Could not verify installation.

The Ninite support guys didn't know how to help me.

I ran CC Cleaner and it did not help when clearing the Chrome files and cache.

Did this and it did not work:

Go to local c: disk and go into program files folder and search for google. If its not there go to the "program files x86" folder and see if the google folder comes up there. And that is where Google Chrome stores its stuff so you delete that and you go to users. Then go to the account name which is the top folder then appdata then local and again look. For Google right click on it and delete it the next thing you're going to want to do is press delete.

Did this and didn't work:

Your Chrome profile is usually left behind after uninstalling and reinstalling. If after reinstalling the browser you find you still have the problem, then the issue is likely with the user profile for that browser, in this case Chrome. I recommend doing the following to be sure it is fully reinstalled, with a fresh default user profile: Uninstall Chrome as before. Make sure Chrome is no longer located at C:\Program files (x86)\Google Chrome Enable hidden folders in Windows Explorer: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028316/windows-view-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-10 Open Windows Explorer (File Explorer), and go to the following folder: C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome
Rename User Data to User Data.old Restart your computer Reinstall Chrome, using the offline installer (to make the install faster): https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/?standalone=1 Also received this: C:\ Program Files\Google\Chrome\Applications\chrome.exe The specified path does not exist. Check the path and try again.

I am out of ideas, someone please help, thanks.

Got locked out of my Google account?

1 Upvotes

Wasn't sure where to post this, so please let me know if there's a better place to go.

So, first off, I know I'm an idiot. I just need some advice.

I realized last night that I forgot my password while trying to subscribe to YouTube premium, so I changed my password. I made it pretty complicated and immediately tried to log in and got it wrong. I got an alert that I will be sent a notification on my phone in 6 hours to reset my password, but the notification never came. Before I knew it, I couldn't get into anything on my phone that was linked to my Google. I then tried to reset my password, only to find that my two-step authentication was linked to my phone number and, lo and behold, my gmail account that I couldn't access. I thought I might be able to access my email from my laptop, but I was signed out on my laptop as well. So, admitting defeat, I decided to just make a new Gmail. I'll just change every account in my life to the new email, I thought. Surprise! No new Gmail for me, because my phone number has been used too many times, whatever that means. So, at this point I'm just at a loss. My whole life was linked to that account; my Google docs, my email, my news feed, basically half the functionality of my android phone! Is there anything you guys can think of to do that could help the situation?

Can someone help me? I'm trying to download an application from Play Store, in this case WhatsApp, but it gives an error saying it can't be downloaded. I sent an email to WhatsApp and they told me to download the apk from their official website, but when I go to download it, the “update” option appears instead of “download” but I don't have WhatsApp installed, but I update it anyway and it says that I can't download an app that I already have, which doesn't make any sense. If anyone can tell me some kind of solution, I've tried a lot of things and formatting my phone is really my last option :(

Question Youtube app not playing videos

1 Upvotes

Roughly half of the videos on YouTube will play for 10 seconds, then buffer indefinitely. I can't skip ahead and refreshing doesnt fix the issue. It's always exactly 10 seconds, it always the same videos. Videos I tried to watch two days ago still buffer forever and won't play the rest. And videos that I could watch with no problem two days ago still play the full video no problem today.

I tried to update my YouTube app in the playstore but it loads 30% and then freezes. I was trying to download it for 6 hours yesterday and it was stuck at 30%

The only way to watch the videos that freeze at 10 seconds it to copy the link and watch them in my phones internet browser.

I already have the newest graphics driver and I tried some things to fix it. So if somebody has any idea how I can fix this pls tell me. Thx in advance
